Speaker 1 (00:00):
And here we go with a Minnesota goodbye. Now, some
emails contain pictures and I hesitate to read them because
the picture really kind of makes the email. But I'll
do my best to describe this one. Okay, here we go,
Happy Tuesday, or whatevery day you read this, says Rachel.
I texted into this show a while ago that I
was listening to the show on YouTube with my newborn baby,
(00:20):
who loves listening to Dave's voice.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
While YouTube was fine, I ended up ordering a vintage
style radio. It's not actually vintage in any way. It
connects to Bluetooth, but it was so weird not getting
to hear the music or commercials. So I just needed
to get a good old fashioned radio to listen to
my favorite people every morning in a way that feels normal.
Picture of my radio attached because it's super cute. Now,
(00:45):
let me do my best to describe this one. If
your grandparents had a radio on the kitchen counter, that's
what this looked like. And it looks a lot like
my mom's radio that she had on the kitchen counter.
And I will tell you I almost get a little
bit teary eyed because that rate was magic.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
To me.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It was a little am radio and she would listen
to the station that played a little bit of music
and did some news in sports, and they would do
things like you know, the swap shop. You'd calling me like, yeah,
I got a nineteen ninety two washer that I want
to sell for something of equal value. Here's my phone
number and they give the and so that's funny. And
(01:22):
I loved then the radio look like that. So if
you picture like an old school nineteen seventies radio, seventies, I.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Was picturing fireside chats radio like a not a.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Big cathedral shape.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah you're thinking of a cathedral shape radio that used
to sit on the floor and take up like, you know,
weigh four hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, that's super cool. I love that, and that's cool
that they still sell those. So thank you, Rachel. Hey,
I want to bring this up. We are very likely
to do a live podcast of the Minnesota Goodbye, and
I'm trying to kind of put together this together and
I'm really open to ideas we want to do in
(01:59):
the KDWB skyroom, which would hold maybe one hundred and
fifty people or so, to come by probably on a
Saturday afternoon or a Friday night. I don't want to
do it during the day because people are working, but
on a Saturday afternoon in the cold winter when there's
nothing else to do, And we would maybe charge admission,
which would all go to Christmas wish.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
What would you pay?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You know, if we said twenty five bucks and people
knew it was for charity, yeah, they'd probably pay that.
But it'd be fun to have people like ask live
questions instead of reading emails, which we could do. We
could be like, Okay, there's a microphone out of the
audience and we're walking around with a microphone. What do
you want to ask?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Bailey?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I want to ask you what it was like to
work at Disney or whatever. And we could do a
live Minnesota Goodbye, would you? And we would have pizza.
I'd buy everybody pizza.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Oh, I love pizza.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And we'd give away like shirts that didn't sell at
the State Fair, you know, things like that. Yeah, So,
Bailey and I think it's a pretty cool idea. What
do you think would you be interested at all in
coming to a live Minnesota Goodbye? Maybe we'd do an
hour to make it worth your while.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, and then we do you know, if there's a
way to like pass around a little mic, like if
they could ask us questions then and there hundred percent
like you could be on the Minnesota could be well right, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
My plan is to walk around with a microphone or
have a microphone set up at the front of the
room where you would walk up to it and speak
into it, and.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
It would be definitely longer than you know, fifteen twenty
minutes would be like an hour.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, get your money and we
could have one Nita. One Nita could come in and
Secretary Brie could come in. Yeah, And I think that
would be kind of cool to do. Of course, my
fear is like anybody's fear throwing an event that four
people would show up and it would be a dud.
It's kind of like if you throw a Super Bowl party,
you're like, oh, man, I hope I have a packed
house and then you know, hopefully you do. You don't
(03:46):
want four people to show up and have people go
like oh yeah, so oh gotta go.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
So you like the idea, Yeah, I think that's fun.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
All right, have any thoughts on it, please let me know.
Neched One. This is from Again. It contains photos, but
I'm going to read it anyways. From Ali. She lives
in Minnetriesta. Ali writes in good morning to my favorite
morning show crew. I love having you all as part
(04:15):
of my morning routine. I've been listening since I was
in elementary school. I am now thirty seven. The Minnesota
Goodbye is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. I
love that I can hear more of your real personalities
without all the sugarcoating. The first time I heard Dave
swear on the radio felt like here and my grandmother
swearing church. Over the years, I've had a few run
(04:36):
ins with Dave see attached photos. Can we talk about
how fucking awkward those both are? The first one is
from twenty eighteen at Big Island. She is kneeling on
the back deck of a boat, and I am kneeling
next to her. I think I waited or swam over
to her boat, and you can see there she is
a lovely young lass of probably you know, she'd be
about thirty years old. Yeah, and there's me next to her,
(05:00):
and I don't remember that, but I don't think that's
awkward at all.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I like your little go to with your arms crossed
over your chest, so you're kind of like, go to
and I like it. It looks good, okay, good, thank you,
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And then she says the second is from nine to
twenty five, which she makes all in one word. On
July fourth of twenty twenty, we had a social distance
while taking this photo. Insert eyerol. I don't even know
what nine twenty five is, but it looks like we're
inside of a restaurant or something.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Does that look.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
That's Oh I was going to say, that's not even you,
that's a different man.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
In the rest awkwardly standing behind her, you're not even smiling.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Wearing the same hat.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
By the way, yep, I think I'm wearing the same hat.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So yeah, I love that. Alli.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I don't even know what nine to twenty five is.
Maybe you can write back and enlighten me anyway. I
love seeing y' all around town. My question for you is,
what is the most awkward fan run in you've ever had?
Would love to be a staff writer, so I will
have secretary briefs in you a rider sticker for your
Yetty or your Stanley.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
An awkward fan run in. I don't necessarily have a
ton of them. I do remember I was at pet
smart Ones buying cat food for my cat and like
standing in line to check out, and someone just went
Bailey and I turn around and I'm like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
What and they were like, hi, I love you, and
I thought, oh, I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And this was like really early on, so essentially like
I'm sure everybody's really used to it, not by this point,
and I'm used to it by this point. If you
say Bailey and I turn around and I don't recognize you,
I assume you are a listener.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
But this was really early on, so I thought that
I must know that person.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
So if anyone made it awkward, it was me because
I was like, hello, you are like, I'm thinking, where
did I meet you? How do I know you? You
must be from improv, you must be from theater. I
don't know who you are. And I was so nervous
about messing it up. And then they said that they
were a listener and I was like, oh, okay, never ah,
So yeah, that was mine.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I got a couple to come to mind, and it
was me making it awkward. One was many years ago.
We used to do a radiothon for charity at Rosedale
Mall and we would start on Thursday morning at six
and we would stay up all night and finish Friday
at six, So that is thirty six hours of being away. Wow,
(07:20):
it's Friday afternoon. We're tired, We're pissed at each other.
Pat and I are arguing about something. We're looking at
the clock. We want to go home. We're tired, and
somebody brought food. Now we've been so busy we could
not find time to eat. So I sneaked behind some
poster or something and I'm trying to eat and a
woman comes around the corner and she's like, Hi, can
(07:41):
I have your autograph? And I remember I was visibly annoyed.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I went.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And I set my plate down and I signed an autograph,
and I remember her thinking she had to been thinking
what a dickhead, And to this day that I still
still feel bad about that, Yeah, even five or thirty
years later, because all she wanted to do was to
meet somebody she'd listened to on the radio. And I
was tired and cranky and I finally had a chance
to sneak away and have a spoonful of whatever. Yeah,
(08:10):
and she asked for an autograph, because back then people
didn't want selfies, they wanted an autograph, and I went
I wanted to let her know how annoyed I was.
And I think back on that now and it still
bothers me. And she probably went away thinking fuck him.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah what a.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, probably not.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But really, most encounters we have with people who listen
are not awkward.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I try to make them. Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And when people come up and say, you know, hey,
are you Dave Ryan, I'll be like, yeah, who are you?
And I'll give them the stin the hand and I'll
be like, you know, and then I do the thing
which really I think is very effective to show people
that you appreciate them. I put my other hand on
top of their hand, yes, as I shake their hand,
to let them know I'm not blowing you off. You
mean something to me for coming by and saying hi, right.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I do that when I talk to folks too who
are fans of the show, and I touch their shoulder
when I talk to them, and I try and tell
them some kind of insider knowledge. So usually I'll say
something about you, Dave, because I know that they probably
like you best, so they'll say like, oh, my gosh,
I've been listening for years. I'd be like, oh my gosh,
me too. Gosh, can you imagine? Can you believe what
Dave did the other day? This is that the other thing?
(09:17):
Touch his shoulder, Touch his shoulder. I want so badly.
I've been going on dates with this guy I met
on Hinge, and I want so badly to be recognized
when I'm out on a date with him, so.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
People will be impressed.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yes, so he'll be impressed, and we'll be like, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Oh so he'll be impressed.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
So he'll be impressed. They'll be like, wow, Wow, Bailey
is a She's somebody. Instead I just get complimented on
what I'm wearing. But that's also kind of nice when
you're sitting with a date and then you get like
three compliments about your dress and you're like.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Oh me, oh my goodness, this is one that I.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Chose for this date. But now I want somebody to
be like, oh my god, Bailey, I love you. And
I'll be like, oh me, hold on, that's great, hold on, date,
let me go talk to this person.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I'm so famous. I love that.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Next one, Brittany in she says, what's your favorite Thanksgiving
side dish that has a vegetable in it. I'm asked
to bring a veggie every year, and every year at
least a few.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
People don't eat that.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
They're like, no, I don't eat that, So it feels
pointless to even bring anything. I read your email yesterday
and I didn't get a chance to read it on
the show on the podcast, but I couldn't think of anything.
A veggie dish is, of course, green bean castroll with
like creama bushroom super crema chicken soup, I think on
top of it.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I love green bean castroll.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
My mom also makes baked hash browns, which is like
cheesy hash browns.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
They're so good.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
And then we also eat asparagus and eggplant, but those
are definitely like an acquired taste, so I wouldn't necessarily
bring that to a function.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I love asparagus, but it's gotta be hot, yes, and
it's got to be a little bit crispy, like baked
with a little bit of olive oil sprits on.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Top of it.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, we bake it with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Yeah's so good. And we do the same thing with
the eggplant. It is so delicious.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Other than that, I don't really know. Maybe you have
a suggestion too, assignments. Let us know whether you would
come to a podcast with the Morning Show, a live
podcast sometime in early December, mid December, and whether you'd
paved twenty five bucks to get in for Christmas wish
and then your Thanksgiving side Thank you, Brittany. Next one,
Aaron writes in he's a regular staff writer. You mentioned
(11:20):
financial fraud last week. In my case, it's not fraud
but bad timing. And Aaron goes on to tell a
story about how he bought Apple stock and then things
went south, and then he bought Tesla stock and that
went bad, and so he lost one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars wow, in investments. If he would have kept it,
he didn't lose it, but he never gained it. Some
(11:42):
other words of you kept his investments, dang it, he says.
And by the way, he says, if Dave's car has
automatic emergency braking, then it should also have active cruise control,
where the speed is adjusted based on the car in
front of you. Both use the car's radar technology. Because
I know my car has automatic emergency braking. If I'm
not really paying attention and a car suddenly stops, the
(12:03):
dashboard turns red, and it slams on the brakes. Who
but I don't know that it has active cruise control
and I'm looking at you like you and guy would
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
That's the one that my sister has that I was
talking about, where it judges how far away the person
in front of you is and then it adjusts the
cruise control based on that. Okay, so you don't have
to pay attention essentially.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, I don't know. I still do.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, uh okay. This one is from TJ. I binged
three months of the Minnesota Goodbye and one glorious weekend Confession.
I've been a daily listener for almost fifteen years, and
for the first time ever, I quit the morning show.
Not because I stopped loving it. I hated quitting. It
felt like ghosting an old friend. Here's the twofold felony,
(12:49):
the tech torture one I used to tap once in
the whole show played. Now I'm digging through my phone
like a raccoon in a dumpster just to find where
I left off. Annoying doesn't cover it. I brought that
up with the powers that be the other day when
I got your email, and basically the question was, well,
what does he mean? And I'm like, I don't know. Yeah,
(13:12):
I don't go back and listen to the podcast. I
don't listen to the show live. Clearly on the iHeart app.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Mine picks up where you left off, where whatever episode
you're playing, you could listen to like halfway through, and
then when you open the app again, it would pick
up where it left off. But I do know people
complain about the order that it's in, and I'm just
I'm going by what I was told, and if you
have it sorted like chronologically, it goes clip six seven
(13:42):
eight nine hours, okay, But if you're looking at it
non chronologically, then it goes nine eight seven six clip.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
So I think that's what throws people sometimes too.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I haven't had a comment one way or another on
the Minnesota on the Regular Morning Show podcast in a
long time, But we used to get complaints all the time,
and we haven't in a while. So either people have
given up, yeah, figured it out, or they fixed it.
I don't know which one, but I will say we
were surprised the other day at how many downloads we've
got for the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, just like one episode has like eight thousand downloads.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, and that's like, wow, I didn't know. It's amazing
to think that eight thousand people might be listening to
this podcast. Thank you, next one, Vaunt. Look, every show
needs a contrarian, a pot star. But right now there
are so many pots boiling over in the world. I
don't need another one in my morning escape pod. Fair enough.
(14:41):
I think when Monster's the pot, I think a lot
of the time he's trying to be lighthearted, and I'll
give the kids some credit.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
He's got to come up with one of those.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Every day, and I think a lot of the time
he gets tired of being the contrarian because he's a
positive guy. He's a nice, charming young fellow.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
He's a little bitch, but he's a charming guy.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, we love vont enter the Minnesota Goodbye, says TJ.
No phone, gymnastics, no ex restirring, just Dave being Dave.
I can't quit that guy.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Thanks, He's my invisible coffee buddy for a decade and
a half. We met exactly once, but he still feels
like a good friend. It's not a hate mail. It's
an opinion mail with a side of nostalgia. The Morning
Show will do what it does, and I respect that,
and I'll keep peeking in hoping I can slide back
into the full ride along. Until then, I will cherish
my ten to twenty minutes of pure Dave and the
(15:30):
Minnesota Goodbye. Thanks for the years of laughs. And please
read this on the podcast so I can hear my
own words in Dave's voice. That would be the ultimate
plot twist, your ultimate if slightly heartbroken listener, TJ. Thank you, TJ.
That's very sweet. I really appreciate that. I think that
I totally know what you mean. You've been listening for
(15:51):
so long that we're buddies even though we've only met
one time, and I appreciate that. And a hit delete
and can hit delete again, and here we go. Oh
hello friends. I'm so excited to hear of Jenny and
Bailey's dating adventures. I wish mine were as exciting. Last
date I had was a decent date. He asked for
his second one, then ghosted me after I didn't positively
(16:14):
respond to him, wishing we could cuddle listen. Our first
aid ended with a nice hug and a kiss. No
frisky business, not cuddling, literally parking lot goodbye. This almost
random guy talking about cuddling made me have the ick. Seriously,
I have no desire to actually cuddle. I'm menopauseal, I'm sweating,
I want to peel my skin off. The last thing
(16:36):
I want to do is be cuddled. I'm about ready
to change my dating profile to include the following.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm ready, single, menopausal woman looking for someone to cook with,
travel with, and to shovel snow with. I love kids,
I raise them. I have no desire to raise yours.
You must have the money to travel and the actual
vacation days to do it. I want to stab a
bitch most days, but I will never do it in
real life. I will only mumble what the fuck a
hundred times a day. Looking for a person who wants
(17:03):
to share a three bedroom home, one bedroom for each
of us and a sex room that may or may
not get used. Must love dogs.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I love that, especially ending with must love dogs, which
is such a dating profile thing, but I love it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
What would your hypothetical honest dating profile say, Oh man,
now I haven't had any time to think about this, Shannon,
but I will maybe give Bailey a chance while I
read this. Thanks for always entertaining me and feeling like friends.
If anyone man is listening is interested, send them my way.
Too hot to dart lick or be near anybody. Good
(17:41):
day from Shannon.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Oh gosh, I'm only going off of like what I've
seen on dating apps, which is so much of the
same thing, where I would say like, I don't care
if you fish, I don't care if you hunt, I
don't care about your sports. I don't care that you
have travel destinations in mind, even though this fabuls emailer.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I love that you travel. That's great for you. It's
just not my it's not my piece. That's probably what
I would say on my profile. Uh. And also, I.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Gosh, oh, I'm mean if I feel like I'm put
on the spot and I can't think of anything, that's.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay, I did put you on the spot. There's that
is something you definitely would have to think about for
a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah. I just like, there's so many of the same dude,
and it's just like carbon copy of the same dude
over and over again, and they always pick the prompt
my typical Sunday, and they always say the same exact thing.
They'll say church, meal prep Jim TV, like sports Jim,
what will prep?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
What would stand out? And maybe you don't know anything
anything else?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Like Okay, the guy that I'm seeing right now his
some prompt. It said, like what am I bringing to
the table? And he said, a plate of pancakes. Everybody
always wants a pancake, but they don't want to order
the pancakes. Pancakes are on me, okay, And I was like,
that's quirky, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's quirky, funny and creative.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, so something that goes beyond the basic ass answer
or when they say like something you should know about
me and their responses, just ask me.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Then, don't pick that freaking prompt. Why did you pick
that prompt?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Just ask me?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
The prompt is there for you to tell me? You dumb?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Oh you dumb hoe.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I get mad.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I see that I am not on the market, but
if I were, I would say I would really love
an accomplished, intelligent smart ass like brain, surgeon, architect, something
like that. Yeah, And it's not because of the money,
it's it's because of that mental challenge. Yes, I would
(19:40):
love to have somebody who would challenge me, like, not argue.
I think there's a difference. But if I said something like, well, right, exactly,
and I love intelligence, that is intelligence and funny and
sarcasm and snarky humor are my kind of thing, and
you and I are the same way. We have the
same kind of snarky humor. Like Bailey, I'll say something like,
(20:00):
you know what, if you didn't dress so funny, maybe
you and so Bailey, instead of going.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
What do you mean, I'd be like, well, if you
weren't so ugly, maybe right, you would have a lot
of girls.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I love that kind of sense of humor. And I've
dated people who it's like, you know and blah blah blah,
and they'll be like what do you mean by that?
And I'm like that's a joke and they're like, oh,
and if you ever have to explain to somebody that
it's a joke, now it's even worse.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah, because banter, you gotta have banter.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Well, they have now proven and you've proven to them
that they're not funny or whatever. And so i'd want
somebody who is very accomplished. I would love if she
had a boat and in her own if she owns
Spirit Island on Lake Minnetonka, yeah, that'd be really fucking dope.
But no, I don't really care about the money. It's
the accomplishment, I feel you. But brainy accomplishment, yeah, not
(20:47):
like somebody who worked like you know, like I don't
know a job that was really like, oh that's great,
you work with sick dogs. Sure, that's not brainy, that's
just kind. That's just kind. So and then somebody who
likes adventure, like you'd have.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
To define adventure though, because that is one of my
pet peeves on a dating app is when they say
I like a girl who likes adventures, they.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Likes to go flying.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That's somebody who would like to go find be willing
to go flying, willing to go flying, and maybe goes
flying on her own. Maybe she's like, oh, well i'm
a pilot too. I'm like, wow, you're smart and your adventures.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yes, I just think you need to define the things
because they also they say like I want a girl
with adventure, or I like a girl that has a passion.
Tell me about what you're passionate about, and it's like well,
you just want me to be passionate about the thing
that you are passionate about, and sometimes.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, Okay, that's going to wrap it up for the
Minnesota Goodbye. Send your email let us know whether you
would come to a podcast and your Thanksgiving vegetable side
dishes Bryan Show at KDIWB dot com
And here we go with a Minnesota goodbye. Now, some
emails contain pictures and I hesitate to read them because
the picture really kind of makes the email. But I'll
do my best to describe this one. Okay, here we go,
Happy Tuesday, or whatevery day you read this, says Rachel.
I texted into this show a while ago that I
was listening to the show on YouTube with my newborn baby,
(00:20):
who loves listening to Dave's voice.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
While YouTube was fine, I ended up ordering a vintage
style radio. It's not actually vintage in any way. It
connects to Bluetooth, but it was so weird not getting
to hear the music or commercials. So I just needed
to get a good old fashioned radio to listen to
my favorite people every morning in a way that feels normal.
Picture of my radio attached because it's super cute. Now,
(00:45):
let me do my best to describe this one. If
your grandparents had a radio on the kitchen counter, that's
what this looked like. And it looks a lot like
my mom's radio that she had on the kitchen counter.
And I will tell you I almost get a little
bit teary eyed because that rate was magic.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
To me.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It was a little am radio and she would listen
to the station that played a little bit of music
and did some news in sports, and they would do
things like you know, the swap shop. You'd calling me like, yeah,
I got a nineteen ninety two washer that I want
to sell for something of equal value. Here's my phone
number and they give the and so that's funny. And
(01:22):
I loved then the radio look like that. So if
you picture like an old school nineteen seventies radio, seventies, I.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Was picturing fireside chats radio like a not a.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Big cathedral shape.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah you're thinking of a cathedral shape radio that used
to sit on the floor and take up like, you know,
weigh four hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, that's super cool. I love that, and that's cool
that they still sell those. So thank you, Rachel. Hey,
I want to bring this up. We are very likely
to do a live podcast of the Minnesota Goodbye, and
I'm trying to kind of put together this together and
I'm really open to ideas we want to do in
(01:59):
the KDWB skyroom, which would hold maybe one hundred and
fifty people or so, to come by probably on a
Saturday afternoon or a Friday night. I don't want to
do it during the day because people are working, but
on a Saturday afternoon in the cold winter when there's
nothing else to do, And we would maybe charge admission,
which would all go to Christmas wish.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
What would you pay?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You know, if we said twenty five bucks and people
knew it was for charity, yeah, they'd probably pay that.
But it'd be fun to have people like ask live
questions instead of reading emails, which we could do. We
could be like, Okay, there's a microphone out of the
audience and we're walking around with a microphone. What do
you want to ask?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Bailey?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I want to ask you what it was like to
work at Disney or whatever. And we could do a
live Minnesota Goodbye, would you? And we would have pizza.
I'd buy everybody pizza.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Oh, I love pizza.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And we'd give away like shirts that didn't sell at
the State Fair, you know, things like that. Yeah, So,
Bailey and I think it's a pretty cool idea. What
do you think would you be interested at all in
coming to a live Minnesota Goodbye? Maybe we'd do an
hour to make it worth your while.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, and then we do you know, if there's a
way to like pass around a little mic, like if
they could ask us questions then and there hundred percent
like you could be on the Minnesota could be well right, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
My plan is to walk around with a microphone or
have a microphone set up at the front of the
room where you would walk up to it and speak
into it, and.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
It would be definitely longer than you know, fifteen twenty
minutes would be like an hour.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, get your money and we
could have one Nita. One Nita could come in and
Secretary Brie could come in. Yeah, And I think that
would be kind of cool to do. Of course, my
fear is like anybody's fear throwing an event that four
people would show up and it would be a dud.
It's kind of like if you throw a Super Bowl party,
you're like, oh, man, I hope I have a packed
house and then you know, hopefully you do. You don't
(03:46):
want four people to show up and have people go
like oh yeah, so oh gotta go.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
So you like the idea, Yeah, I think that's fun.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
All right, have any thoughts on it, please let me know.
Neched One. This is from Again. It contains photos, but
I'm going to read it anyways. From Ali. She lives
in Minnetriesta. Ali writes in good morning to my favorite
morning show crew. I love having you all as part
(04:15):
of my morning routine. I've been listening since I was
in elementary school. I am now thirty seven. The Minnesota
Goodbye is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. I
love that I can hear more of your real personalities
without all the sugarcoating. The first time I heard Dave
swear on the radio felt like here and my grandmother
swearing church. Over the years, I've had a few run
(04:36):
ins with Dave see attached photos. Can we talk about
how fucking awkward those both are? The first one is
from twenty eighteen at Big Island. She is kneeling on
the back deck of a boat, and I am kneeling
next to her. I think I waited or swam over
to her boat, and you can see there she is
a lovely young lass of probably you know, she'd be
about thirty years old. Yeah, and there's me next to her,
(05:00):
and I don't remember that, but I don't think that's
awkward at all.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I like your little go to with your arms crossed
over your chest, so you're kind of like, go to
and I like it. It looks good, okay, good, thank you,
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And then she says the second is from nine to
twenty five, which she makes all in one word. On
July fourth of twenty twenty, we had a social distance
while taking this photo. Insert eyerol. I don't even know
what nine twenty five is, but it looks like we're
inside of a restaurant or something.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Does that look.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
That's Oh I was going to say, that's not even you,
that's a different man.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
In the rest awkwardly standing behind her, you're not even smiling.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Wearing the same hat.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
By the way, yep, I think I'm wearing the same hat.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So yeah, I love that. Alli.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I don't even know what nine to twenty five is.
Maybe you can write back and enlighten me anyway. I
love seeing y' all around town. My question for you is,
what is the most awkward fan run in you've ever had?
Would love to be a staff writer, so I will
have secretary briefs in you a rider sticker for your
Yetty or your Stanley.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
An awkward fan run in. I don't necessarily have a
ton of them. I do remember I was at pet
smart Ones buying cat food for my cat and like
standing in line to check out, and someone just went
Bailey and I turn around and I'm like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
What and they were like, hi, I love you, and
I thought, oh, I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And this was like really early on, so essentially like
I'm sure everybody's really used to it, not by this point,
and I'm used to it by this point. If you
say Bailey and I turn around and I don't recognize you,
I assume you are a listener.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
But this was really early on, so I thought that
I must know that person.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
So if anyone made it awkward, it was me because
I was like, hello, you are like, I'm thinking, where
did I meet you? How do I know you? You
must be from improv, you must be from theater. I
don't know who you are. And I was so nervous
about messing it up. And then they said that they
were a listener and I was like, oh, okay, never ah,
So yeah, that was mine.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I got a couple to come to mind, and it
was me making it awkward. One was many years ago.
We used to do a radiothon for charity at Rosedale
Mall and we would start on Thursday morning at six
and we would stay up all night and finish Friday
at six, So that is thirty six hours of being away. Wow,
(07:20):
it's Friday afternoon. We're tired, We're pissed at each other.
Pat and I are arguing about something. We're looking at
the clock. We want to go home. We're tired, and
somebody brought food. Now we've been so busy we could
not find time to eat. So I sneaked behind some
poster or something and I'm trying to eat and a
woman comes around the corner and she's like, Hi, can
(07:41):
I have your autograph? And I remember I was visibly annoyed.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I went.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And I set my plate down and I signed an autograph,
and I remember her thinking she had to been thinking
what a dickhead, And to this day that I still
still feel bad about that, Yeah, even five or thirty
years later, because all she wanted to do was to
meet somebody she'd listened to on the radio. And I
was tired and cranky and I finally had a chance
to sneak away and have a spoonful of whatever. Yeah,
(08:10):
and she asked for an autograph, because back then people
didn't want selfies, they wanted an autograph, and I went
I wanted to let her know how annoyed I was.
And I think back on that now and it still
bothers me. And she probably went away thinking fuck him.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah what a.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, probably not.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But really, most encounters we have with people who listen
are not awkward.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I try to make them. Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And when people come up and say, you know, hey,
are you Dave Ryan, I'll be like, yeah, who are you?
And I'll give them the stin the hand and I'll
be like, you know, and then I do the thing
which really I think is very effective to show people
that you appreciate them. I put my other hand on
top of their hand, yes, as I shake their hand,
to let them know I'm not blowing you off. You
mean something to me for coming by and saying hi, right.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I do that when I talk to folks too who
are fans of the show, and I touch their shoulder
when I talk to them, and I try and tell
them some kind of insider knowledge. So usually I'll say
something about you, Dave, because I know that they probably
like you best, so they'll say like, oh, my gosh,
I've been listening for years. I'd be like, oh my gosh,
me too. Gosh, can you imagine? Can you believe what
Dave did the other day? This is that the other thing?
(09:17):
Touch his shoulder, Touch his shoulder. I want so badly.
I've been going on dates with this guy I met
on Hinge, and I want so badly to be recognized
when I'm out on a date with him, so.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
People will be impressed.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yes, so he'll be impressed, and we'll be like, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Oh so he'll be impressed.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
So he'll be impressed. They'll be like, wow, Wow, Bailey
is a She's somebody. Instead I just get complimented on
what I'm wearing. But that's also kind of nice when
you're sitting with a date and then you get like
three compliments about your dress and you're like.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Oh me, oh my goodness, this is one that I.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Chose for this date. But now I want somebody to
be like, oh my god, Bailey, I love you. And
I'll be like, oh me, hold on, that's great, hold on, date,
let me go talk to this person.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I'm so famous. I love that.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Next one, Brittany in she says, what's your favorite Thanksgiving
side dish that has a vegetable in it. I'm asked
to bring a veggie every year, and every year at
least a few.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
People don't eat that.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
They're like, no, I don't eat that, So it feels
pointless to even bring anything. I read your email yesterday
and I didn't get a chance to read it on
the show on the podcast, but I couldn't think of anything.
A veggie dish is, of course, green bean castroll with
like creama bushroom super crema chicken soup, I think on
top of it.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I love green bean castroll.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
My mom also makes baked hash browns, which is like
cheesy hash browns.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
They're so good.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
And then we also eat asparagus and eggplant, but those
are definitely like an acquired taste, so I wouldn't necessarily
bring that to a function.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I love asparagus, but it's gotta be hot, yes, and
it's got to be a little bit crispy, like baked
with a little bit of olive oil sprits on.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Top of it.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, we bake it with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Yeah's so good. And we do the same thing with
the eggplant. It is so delicious.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Other than that, I don't really know. Maybe you have
a suggestion too, assignments. Let us know whether you would
come to a podcast with the Morning Show, a live
podcast sometime in early December, mid December, and whether you'd
paved twenty five bucks to get in for Christmas wish
and then your Thanksgiving side Thank you, Brittany. Next one,
Aaron writes in he's a regular staff writer. You mentioned
(11:20):
financial fraud last week. In my case, it's not fraud
but bad timing. And Aaron goes on to tell a
story about how he bought Apple stock and then things
went south, and then he bought Tesla stock and that
went bad, and so he lost one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars wow, in investments. If he would have kept it,
he didn't lose it, but he never gained it. Some
(11:42):
other words of you kept his investments, dang it, he says.
And by the way, he says, if Dave's car has
automatic emergency braking, then it should also have active cruise control,
where the speed is adjusted based on the car in
front of you. Both use the car's radar technology. Because
I know my car has automatic emergency braking. If I'm
not really paying attention and a car suddenly stops, the
(12:03):
dashboard turns red, and it slams on the brakes. Who
but I don't know that it has active cruise control
and I'm looking at you like you and guy would
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
That's the one that my sister has that I was
talking about, where it judges how far away the person
in front of you is and then it adjusts the
cruise control based on that. Okay, so you don't have
to pay attention essentially.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, I don't know. I still do.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, uh okay. This one is from TJ. I binged
three months of the Minnesota Goodbye and one glorious weekend Confession.
I've been a daily listener for almost fifteen years, and
for the first time ever, I quit the morning show.
Not because I stopped loving it. I hated quitting. It
felt like ghosting an old friend. Here's the twofold felony,
(12:49):
the tech torture one I used to tap once in
the whole show played. Now I'm digging through my phone
like a raccoon in a dumpster just to find where
I left off. Annoying doesn't cover it. I brought that
up with the powers that be the other day when
I got your email, and basically the question was, well,
what does he mean? And I'm like, I don't know. Yeah,
(13:12):
I don't go back and listen to the podcast. I
don't listen to the show live. Clearly on the iHeart app.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Mine picks up where you left off, where whatever episode
you're playing, you could listen to like halfway through, and
then when you open the app again, it would pick
up where it left off. But I do know people
complain about the order that it's in, and I'm just
I'm going by what I was told, and if you
have it sorted like chronologically, it goes clip six seven
(13:42):
eight nine hours, okay, But if you're looking at it
non chronologically, then it goes nine eight seven six clip.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
So I think that's what throws people sometimes too.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I haven't had a comment one way or another on
the Minnesota on the Regular Morning Show podcast in a
long time, But we used to get complaints all the time,
and we haven't in a while. So either people have
given up, yeah, figured it out, or they fixed it.
I don't know which one, but I will say we
were surprised the other day at how many downloads we've
got for the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, just like one episode has like eight thousand downloads.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, and that's like, wow, I didn't know. It's amazing
to think that eight thousand people might be listening to
this podcast. Thank you, next one, Vaunt. Look, every show
needs a contrarian, a pot star. But right now there
are so many pots boiling over in the world. I
don't need another one in my morning escape pod. Fair enough.
(14:41):
I think when Monster's the pot, I think a lot
of the time he's trying to be lighthearted, and I'll
give the kids some credit.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
He's got to come up with one of those.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Every day, and I think a lot of the time
he gets tired of being the contrarian because he's a
positive guy. He's a nice, charming young fellow.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
He's a little bitch, but he's a charming guy.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, we love vont enter the Minnesota Goodbye, says TJ.
No phone, gymnastics, no ex restirring, just Dave being Dave.
I can't quit that guy.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Thanks, He's my invisible coffee buddy for a decade and
a half. We met exactly once, but he still feels
like a good friend. It's not a hate mail. It's
an opinion mail with a side of nostalgia. The Morning
Show will do what it does, and I respect that,
and I'll keep peeking in hoping I can slide back
into the full ride along. Until then, I will cherish
my ten to twenty minutes of pure Dave and the
(15:30):
Minnesota Goodbye. Thanks for the years of laughs. And please
read this on the podcast so I can hear my
own words in Dave's voice. That would be the ultimate
plot twist, your ultimate if slightly heartbroken listener, TJ. Thank you, TJ.
That's very sweet. I really appreciate that. I think that
I totally know what you mean. You've been listening for
(15:51):
so long that we're buddies even though we've only met
one time, and I appreciate that. And a hit delete
and can hit delete again, and here we go. Oh
hello friends. I'm so excited to hear of Jenny and
Bailey's dating adventures. I wish mine were as exciting. Last
date I had was a decent date. He asked for
his second one, then ghosted me after I didn't positively
(16:14):
respond to him, wishing we could cuddle listen. Our first
aid ended with a nice hug and a kiss. No
frisky business, not cuddling, literally parking lot goodbye. This almost
random guy talking about cuddling made me have the ick. Seriously,
I have no desire to actually cuddle. I'm menopauseal, I'm sweating,
I want to peel my skin off. The last thing
(16:36):
I want to do is be cuddled. I'm about ready
to change my dating profile to include the following.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm ready, single, menopausal woman looking for someone to cook with,
travel with, and to shovel snow with. I love kids,
I raise them. I have no desire to raise yours.
You must have the money to travel and the actual
vacation days to do it. I want to stab a
bitch most days, but I will never do it in
real life. I will only mumble what the fuck a
hundred times a day. Looking for a person who wants
(17:03):
to share a three bedroom home, one bedroom for each
of us and a sex room that may or may
not get used. Must love dogs.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I love that, especially ending with must love dogs, which
is such a dating profile thing, but I love it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
What would your hypothetical honest dating profile say, Oh man,
now I haven't had any time to think about this, Shannon,
but I will maybe give Bailey a chance while I
read this. Thanks for always entertaining me and feeling like friends.
If anyone man is listening is interested, send them my way.
Too hot to dart lick or be near anybody. Good
(17:41):
day from Shannon.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Oh gosh, I'm only going off of like what I've
seen on dating apps, which is so much of the
same thing, where I would say like, I don't care
if you fish, I don't care if you hunt, I
don't care about your sports. I don't care that you
have travel destinations in mind, even though this fabuls emailer.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I love that you travel. That's great for you. It's
just not my it's not my piece. That's probably what
I would say on my profile. Uh. And also, I.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Gosh, oh, I'm mean if I feel like I'm put
on the spot and I can't think of anything, that's.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay, I did put you on the spot. There's that
is something you definitely would have to think about for
a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah. I just like, there's so many of the same dude,
and it's just like carbon copy of the same dude
over and over again, and they always pick the prompt
my typical Sunday, and they always say the same exact thing.
They'll say church, meal prep Jim TV, like sports Jim,
what will prep?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
What would stand out? And maybe you don't know anything
anything else?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Like Okay, the guy that I'm seeing right now his
some prompt. It said, like what am I bringing to
the table? And he said, a plate of pancakes. Everybody
always wants a pancake, but they don't want to order
the pancakes. Pancakes are on me, okay, And I was like,
that's quirky, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's quirky, funny and creative.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, so something that goes beyond the basic ass answer
or when they say like something you should know about
me and their responses, just ask me.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Then, don't pick that freaking prompt. Why did you pick
that prompt?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Just ask me?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
The prompt is there for you to tell me? You dumb?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Oh you dumb hoe.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I get mad.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I see that I am not on the market, but
if I were, I would say I would really love
an accomplished, intelligent smart ass like brain, surgeon, architect, something
like that. Yeah, And it's not because of the money,
it's it's because of that mental challenge. Yes, I would
(19:40):
love to have somebody who would challenge me, like, not argue.
I think there's a difference. But if I said something like, well, right, exactly,
and I love intelligence, that is intelligence and funny and
sarcasm and snarky humor are my kind of thing, and
you and I are the same way. We have the
same kind of snarky humor. Like Bailey, I'll say something like,
(20:00):
you know what, if you didn't dress so funny, maybe
you and so Bailey, instead of going.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
What do you mean, I'd be like, well, if you
weren't so ugly, maybe right, you would have a lot
of girls.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I love that kind of sense of humor. And I've
dated people who it's like, you know and blah blah blah,
and they'll be like what do you mean by that?
And I'm like that's a joke and they're like, oh,
and if you ever have to explain to somebody that
it's a joke, now it's even worse.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah, because banter, you gotta have banter.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Well, they have now proven and you've proven to them
that they're not funny or whatever. And so i'd want
somebody who is very accomplished. I would love if she
had a boat and in her own if she owns
Spirit Island on Lake Minnetonka, yeah, that'd be really fucking dope.
But no, I don't really care about the money. It's
the accomplishment, I feel you. But brainy accomplishment, yeah, not
(20:47):
like somebody who worked like you know, like I don't
know a job that was really like, oh that's great,
you work with sick dogs. Sure, that's not brainy, that's
just kind. That's just kind. So and then somebody who
likes adventure, like you'd have.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
To define adventure though, because that is one of my
pet peeves on a dating app is when they say
I like a girl who likes adventures, they.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Likes to go flying.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That's somebody who would like to go find be willing
to go flying, willing to go flying, and maybe goes
flying on her own. Maybe she's like, oh, well i'm
